Baby humans and animals almost always give me the warm fuzzies. My nephew is 5 months old and he makes me smile even though I am in a mixed episode right now. Holding him calms me a little. However I can only do it for a short period as I can get very irritable. Can't handle him crying though so I just pass him back to my sister.

I have a list of things that make me happy. My problem is taking that step to do them..Once I get past that its ok. But I have to start all over again each time. I just try to remind myself that it will be ok if I just let go and go for it.

Unfortunately we don't feel like it when we're struggling but...

Some light exercise! Followed by a nice hot bath or shower, putting some slippers on, having a cocoa or a cup of tea and watching a comedy tucked up in bed. Oh dear. I don't sound 21. I think that's my mum's routine too!

I love your idea. I live in jeans and sweatshirts and I miss dressing up and having a reason to shower more than twice a week. I think I shall do what you do -- I have nicer clothes, at least a few things, so I will try to shower one more time a week and dress nicely on that day. Great idea

Playing Bach & Beethoven - even the little pieces I know, bring so much joy.
